The next BriefingsDirect big-data innovation case study interview explores how large-scale monitoring of rainforest biodiversity and climate has been enabled and accelerated by cutting-edge big-data capture, retrieval, and analysis.

We'll learn how quantitative analysis and modeling are generating new insights into what’s happening in tropical ecosystems worldwide, and we'll hear how such insights are leading to better ways to attain and verify sustainable development and preservation methods and techniques.

To learn more about data science -- and how hosting that data science in the cloud -- helps the study of biodiversity, we're pleased to welcome Eric Fegraus, Senior Director of Technology of the TEAM Network at Conservation International and Jorge Ahumada, Executive Director of the TEAM Network, also at Conservation International in Arlington, Virginia. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Sponsor: Hewlett Packard Enterprise.]
